LANGUAGE CHALLENGE: Can you say these two-word English sentences in Chinese?

I got 6 of them, but I'm super proud of myself. That's why I love learning Chinese: I am happy with the smallest achievements. 😅

非常好👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

[@NeverTurnOffTheAmp]

My result is...uhm...0/20. Which is not a surprise because I never learned Chinese, but I always wanted to. But this video is perfect, because in my personal language learning style I cannot start with the very basics only - I always need to combine it with some easy, but real-life and useful example that gives me the "vibe" of the language. And your video is perfect for that purpose! Thank you!

[@paunitka7]

20 useful, everyday phrases is a great start. 😁

[@JakeBorns]

This video is exactly what I needed! Hindsight was 20/20 when the answers were revealed if I didn’t get it, and I was happy to jot those down in my notes ☺️ 谢谢说老师！

3/20 In spite of having lived in China more than four years, I only knew "好吧", "不行", and not to say anything after a sneeze XD This kind of content is why I stay subscribed to your channel!

[@MishalMehdi-m2h]

10/20! Just made the mark! After watching like 8-12 cdramas (started that adventure few months back), I've gotten thus far! People who are learning Chinese, purely listening to people speak can bring you very far! And whenever you learn something, always write it down to remember!

[@dominikriegler]

3/20. I guess just watching C-Drama is not enough to actually learn Chinese. But they are so addictive. I can't help it. In our country there is just crap on TV. So, watching and enjoying C-Drama and learning a little bit of Chinese Mandarin along the way is the perfect solution to actually do something meaningful in the freetime while enjoying it. Which C-Drama do you enjoy watching? Do you have a favourite C-Drama? Mine is "Love between Fairy and devil". You haven't seen it? Bu keneng! 不可能!

[@k.c1126]

Keep watching... You'll pick up more! 😂

[@ollieanntan4478]

You are so much better at teaching than everyone else 🏆

[@redheadinchina]

I've often heard "慢走" be used when parting with others in a way that I've assumed to mean "Take care"...But I guess only when leaving a place or physically parting from someone, not over the phone or video chat, same as "注意安全" I guess, 对不对?

[@linsen8890]

I got maybe 6 out of 20, but in my case, it was more from having learned a little different translation, like for "I see," I've learned “原来如此.” (yuan lai ru ci) And for "go ahead," I would just say "请“ (qing) or maybe "qing ba." I knew almost all the phrases already, but there were a few new ones for me. I've not been diligent about studying Chinese for awhile, but lately I've been thinking about starting to study it more. your videos are super helpful for learning these everyday phrases.

Back in 1965 one of my Chinese professors taught us that adults would react to a child sneezing by saying, "yi1 bai3 sui3" [a gentile wish for the child to live to 100 years old] 🙂

My poor result (4/20) is no surprise, I need to improve a lot and this video was very useful to learn short sentences that can always come in handy....I was quite pleased with myself to guess the SNEEZ one right though! 🤣 Thanks Shuo.

For the casual 'take care ' in a lot of the dramas, I've frequently heard 'mandianr', the way we might say 'drive safely ' when seeing someone off.

[@Jhearding]

What a great video. Way more useful than a formal classroom lesson on a similar topic. Thank you!

[@PaulaCoots]

I've never said "Bless you," after a sneeze. Maybe it's a family thing, because nobody in my family in Texas says that. I've always thought it made no sense and still think it's weird when I hear it. Plus, you're so funny. What a great teacher. A few days ago I had to stop halfway through the video. I didn't get any right. But today in the last half I got 5/20, so I wasn't as bad as I thought.

[@sofiashevtsova365]

Can we also say 从头开始 meaning "start over"? As for “go ahead ” can we use 来吧／你来／来? As an alternative of expressing surprise/shock with "no way," I've answered: 我去. I've scored 11 but know 3-4 more expressions. Maybe they're more of passive knowledge or just weren't bound to those specific English expressions as it's not my native language 🤔 Anyways, love this type of video! Thank you 🙏

[@NessaLiYuan]

I've also heard it there a lot

[@ggarzagarcia]

7/20 I know more phrases, but my translation skills are not on par with my speaking oftentimes. I overthink them with something else. Ex. “That’s it” , I said “完了，结束了” not really the best translation. As for “bless you,” biggest reason is the phrase is *Christian* and highly used in the west in some form. Eastern Asia doesn’t have a proper equivalent. Ancient China used to be monotheistic (Xia Dynasty to the Shang or Zhou Dynasty, the concept of 上帝) until the rise of Confucianism, Buddhism, and other religions/philosophies, becoming pluralistic. By the founding of the People’s Republic of China in 1949, it has opted to be atheistic. And since Christianity is a western influence, the phrase “bless you” is a foreign concept. Henceforth, there’s no equivalent phrase, even among Chinese Christians all over the world (including in mainland China).
